Influenced by the "May 4th" view of women’s history in modern times,most people think that the view of ancient women’s education is that "women have no talent is the virtue",it is generally believed that in ancient society,women’s virtue is more important than women’s learning.However,through an analysis of the daily life reflected in the poems of Confucius’ descendant Kong Luhua,Kong Luhua not only inherited the Confucian norm of women’s morality but was also highly talented.This provides a good example for us to study the concept of female virtue and ability and its education in the middle of Qing Dynasty.Based on the Old Classics of Tang and Song dynasties,this paper studies the education of female morality and talent in the middle period of Qing Dynasty,through the life picture presented in the poems,and the interpretation of various roles and ethics relations by Kong Luhua,so as to restore the true face of women’s life at that time.In ancient Chinese ethical society,women played an important role in the stability of family and social relations.At the same time,with the establishment of Confucianism,the dominant position of Confucianism was established.The rulers of the past dynasties,out of the need of maintaining the rule,all put forward different demands on the moral education of women.In ancient China,the concept of female morality,the view of women’s virtue and ability,and the content of women’s education also underwent a process of development and evolution.By the middle period of the Qing Dynasty,The emergence of capitalism had an impact on the social ideology at that time.Different classes put forward different views on the education of women’s virtues and talents for their own needs.There have been many scenarios intertwined.It is against this background that this provides a favorable opportunity for the development of Kong Lu hua’s talent education.Born in "the first Family in the World",Kong Luhua had a family tradition of poetic rites.She was influenced by Confucian ideas of ritual family of poetry from an early age,taking poetry as Her talent and courtesy as Her virtue.It laid a good foundation for the development of her education of virtue and talent.Later she married to Ruan Yuan,who was an elder of the three dynasties and a minister of nine provinces.He was not only a famous official of a generation,but also a great writer.To encourage the study of female talent and support the creation of women,the study of talent began to be valued and developed.It was under the influence of such a variety of education that the cultivation of Kong Luhua,a women of virtue and talent,whose "virtue" was mainly through the playing of various roles in daily life,As a daughter,as a daughter-in-law,as an aunt,as a wife,as a husband,and so on.Atthe same time,she also has family feelings and concerns about the people’s livelihood.In the process,poetry and prose became an important medium for Kong Luhua to get along and communicate with people.It has become the link and bridge of its moral practice.While playing all kinds of ethical identities and roles,it has also achieved the poetic talent of Kong Luhua,and promoted the complement of her female morality and ability.Therefore,the image presented by Kong Luhua is contrary to the image of the ancient women as "Xiang Lin Sao",which is well known to us.From this,we can see that in the middle of the Qing Dynasty,women were not all "ignorant," and that women’s morality and women could go hand in hand.Correcting people’s existing knowledge of women’s virtue and women’s talent.This is also of great significance to our study of the moral outlook of the Qing women.
